Was this even worth the extended interview? There's nothing but deflection throughout. Why bother extending such a frustrating interview when it was clear they were going nowhere? If anything can be said about this interview is the admirable skill Yoo showed in manipulating the conversation focusing on promoting his book.

was sad to see that Stewart couldn't get through to him

yeah Stewart came out and said he tried, but his attempts at taking a jab at yoo weren't working.

Yoo is remarkably well trained it seems.

that's what i'm talking about. why extend an interview that isn't going anywhere? why try so much when it was obvious he wasn't going to get any straight answers? Jon should know better.

I think if you assume that Jon Stewart's position is infallible and correct and the opposing view is inherently wrong he got nowhere. But if you try to understand Yoo's position he did articulate it. It was not Stewart's position, but it did show where he was coming from. Just listen to Jon's last line about understanding the opposite view point.

They are both intelligent in that they both found a large market and continue to exploit them.

This question only serves to highlight your intelligence level, or rather, lack thereof.

Posted by shaw on Jan-17-2010 23:23:

How depressing.

Excuse me for interrupting the sermon.

Posted by Allayla on Jan-17-2010 23:30:

John Stewart is 1000x more intelligent than all the fox/msnbc/cnn meat puppets blabbering on the teevee pretending to be journalists.

Posted by shaw on Jan-17-2010 23:36:

good to see the reading comprehension skills are so well developed around here.

Posted by Clovis on Jan-18-2010 00:12:

Jon Stewart dropped the ball here imo. He could have murdered Yoo. I was annoyed at such an opportunity gone to waste.

When beginning a sentence, it is customary in the English language to use a capital letter for the first word.

Would you claim otherwise? And if so, why?

Not to mention that it should've been "well-developed". Before critiquing the comprehension of others, it's probably best to make sure that he's being as clear as possible in order to avoid confusion.

lol give me a break. Like anyone here really knows John Stewart's intelligence level compared to anyone else, like you've studied his fucking standardized test scores. And like CNN and MSNBC are the networks of unbiased journalistic integrity by which the bar is set.

This thread has become laughable.

stewart & colbert for comedy/satire... not news. Faux news has been all over the Haiti stuff like the rest. I'm not confusing news coverage with the pundits' opinion shows

Edit: i agree with you: our mainstream media is a huge joke; they're largely about advocating, and no longer reporting.
